I am now the happy owner of a twentieth anniversary edition of So You Want to Be a Wizard, a handsome hardback which includes an illuminating afterword and a Nita 'n' Kit short story from 1986. Coooool. I am almost tempted to squee. *g*

Ooooh: short story?

*nods vigorously* Originally written as a tribute to Heinlein, but I'll forgive her. *g*

(Sorry if I offend--like a couple of RAH's novels, do not like his work overall.)

That's the one with the subway, right?

[ex-mommybir.livejournal.com]

Yes! that's the one.

Oooh! I'll likely love it, then!

And I forgive you about the Heinlein comment. I like his stuff, but it's not for everyone.

For the record, I liked I Will Fear No Evil, The Number of the Beast, and Time Enough for Love pretty well, especially the first two of those. I read a few other of his novels, however, that made me want to retch.

I Will Fear No Evil is one of my all-time favorites, especially as I'm multiple, and my name is Joan (one syllable).

Number of the Beast got really... silly at the end. Not that it wasn't silly to start. And I wasn't so fond of Time Enough for Love. That guy irritates me. (But that's probably just because I love The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. Which ones did you try that didn't work? Assignment: Eternity had one of my friends doing flinging and "Must... control... fist... of... death..."

I think it was To Sail Beyond the Sunset that really got my goat. Of course, that was before I started reading fanfic, when my squick factor was a lot lower....
